Julie, American Surrogate Mother in Coopersville, Michigan, USA

Why I want to be a surrogate mother:

I have thought about it for a long time and have decided that nothing would make me happier than to give a child to someone who wants one but can't do it on their own. I know how happy my children make me and I would love to help someone else know how it feels to love someone so deeply.

Description of myself:

I am a silly, charasmatic 25 (almost 26) year old looking for a new adventure in life. I am a mother to 2 year old identical twin girls, and nothing makes me happier than spending time with them. I love to read, draw, laugh, and cook.

My letter to intended parents:

Hi, Intended Parents! People have been asking me why I want to do this. The answer is strange in some people's eyes. Why would I want to help a stranger? I do small things for people when I can, and helping others gives me such an awesome feeling. Not because of the gratitude, but because I know that I helped put a smile on their face, or made their day just a little better. This is something that I can do for someone that will make them smile every single day, and there is nothing better than that. You won't have to thank me every day, and I wouldn't want you to, but I will always know that I've given someone a miracle, and that in itself is enough. On a lighter note, I hope you've seen the TV show Friends. When I was a lot younger, and watched the episode where Phoebe gives birth to triplets for her brother and his wife, and even when I was young I thought it was the most amazing thing you could do for someone... I think I've wanted to do this since then, honestly. Thank you:)
